Yes, that tire actually works. I've used it before.

It's always good when those mishaps occur close to home.

Yesterday I FINALLY installed the engine brace for my Mazdatrix strut tower brace, but it didn't seem to work well because I felt alot of shaking, and there was some rattling. I KNOW that everything was tightened well.

I just received my front strut tower brace(fstb) yesterday, it was listed for 3rd gens but the price was too good, $43 w/shipping. I had to slightly modify the holes for it to fit the bolts. I might need to bolt it on top of the factory bolts for clearance reasons. This wont affect its performance(if it ever had any), right? or should it be mounted as close to the body as possible?
thanks
thanks

Do you have to cut the rear strut towers to put on the bar. I have speakers in the towers and don't feel like f@cking with them.
